Happy Thanksgiving Wolves Nation!To start our thankful season I would like to pass along the news that we had two young men recognized with an All-state selection. They were both named 2nd Team INA (Iowa Newspapers Association) All-state. This is voted on by newswriters throughout the state. Max Huston (12)Max was named 2nd team Offensive Line. Max worked very hard between his junior and senior year and is seeing the benefits of what hard work and dedication will get you! Plus he received news that there is no tear or bad damage to his knee and will be practicing before long. Congrats Max!Sam Jennings (12)Sam was named 2nd team Linebacker. Sam lead our district in solo tackles and total tackles as well as defensive touchdowns. Sam has worked hard to become a leader on and off the field. Very proud of the young man Sam is becoming and we hope him the best as the recruiting season gets started. Congrats Sam!

We had other guys that were very worthy of the selection but did not receive it. Remember that these are individual awards and will never take away what you have given this team, program, and community. Always remember: For those before us, those of us now, and those that follow, WE ARE WMU!​

Well, I am finally ready to talk about the season. I apologize for not writing earlier but it was a bitter pill to swallow there at the end of the season. Our guys had an amazing season and lost on a tough one to Lynnville-Sully. I couldn't be more proud of the group of young men that played football for us this season. We lost in the second round to Lynnville-Sully as their kicker made a 30 yard field goal with under 30 seconds left in the game. It wasn't for lack of effort or anything from our boys. Like I said, so proud of these young men. We had great performances from many of the young men. One I would like to point out is Bryce Robison. He showed some real toughness as he essentially broke his foot but continued to play on it. That is just an example of the determination that all these guys had. As we look back on the season we need to take in the whole body of work. An undefeated regular season and district Champions. We had the Offensive and Defensive MVP in the district as well as seven other guys earn all district awards. We also had seven young men picked for The Hawkeye team. While I am proud of those guys and those accomplishments I am more proud of the fact that we had the kids vote on some team awards and one of those is a teammate award. Ten of our athletes received votes from their teammates. That speaks volumes to the type of young men we have on this team. Very proud of the way they have developed into a cohesive team. We took the young men up to the UNI Dome to watch the semifinals and I could tell that we should have been a team up there. If we stay healthy I like our chances.But now we turn the page and start looking forward to the next season. We are back in the weight room and improving our abilities in the strength, agility, speed, and explosion areas. I look forward to this offseason as there could be some big gains made by our athletes. Once again I would like to thank you all for your positive support throughout the season. Much of our success comes from the positive support you have given to the guys and to the program. Thank you Wolves Nation for a great season. For those before us, those of us now, and those that follow, WE ARE WMU!​

Round 2 of the playoffs is here today. Your WMU Wolves play host to the traveling Lynnville-Sully Hawks. The last meeting between these teams in was 2007. It should be a gorgeous night for high school football as the highs are in the 70's today and will probably be upper 50's at game time. We are having a slight breeze from the south which is a cross wind on our field. Lynnville-Sully comes into the game at 7-3 and they defeated District 6 Runner up Pekin 36-34 in the first round game. We come into the game at 10-0 and defeated 4 seed North Linn 38-0. LS has a nice running back that just got over the 1000 yard milestone. He is a quick back that likes to run with some power so we will need to make sure that we tackle fundamentally and low tonight. Like I was talking to the guys last night, what a great opportunity for our young men. We are sitting at 10-0 for the first time in a long time, district champs, but we aren't done yet. This has been a great season and no one wants to see this end. I think that if we can come out and be physical on the line of scrimmage and play with good leverage there I think that we can do some special things. We will have to make due without Darren Hunter tonight but we have some guys that will step in and do what is needed of them for us to be successful. A reminder that if you can't make it to the game you can listen to it on the radio, KILJ or kilj.com, KCII out of Washington, or our very own Wolvecast. If you are able to make it to the stadium cheer loud and support our young men as they look to push this thing to 11-0 and make the quarterfinals for the first time since 1999. For those before us, those of us now, and those that follow, WE ARE WMU!​
